Background
The origin of extraordinarily rich biodiversity in tropical forests is often attributed to evolution under stable climatic conditions over a long period or to climatic fluctuations during the recent Quaternary period. Here, we test these two hypotheses using Dracaena cambodiana, a plant species distributed in paleotropical forests.Methods
We analyzed nucleotide sequence data of two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA: atpB-rbcL and trnD-trnT) regions and genotype data of six nuclear microsatellites from 15 populations (140 and 363 individuals, respectively) distributed in Indochina Peninsular and Hainan Island to infer the patterns of genetic diversity and phylogeographic structure. The population bottleneck and genetic drift were estimated based upon nuclear microsatellites data using the software programs BOTTLENECK and 2MOD. The lineage divergence times and past population dynamics based on cpDNA data were estimated using coalescent-based isolation-with-migration (IMa) and BEAST software programs.Results
A significant phylogeographic structure (N ST = 0.876, G ST = 0.796, F ST-SSR = 0.329, R ST = 0.449; N ST>G ST, R ST>F ST-SSR, P<0.05) and genetic differentiation among populations were detected. Bottleneck analyses and Bayesian skyline plot suggested recent population reduction. The cpDNA haplotype network revealed the ancestral populations from the southern Indochina region expanded to northward. The most recent ancestor divergence time of D. cambodiana dated back to the Tertiary era and rapid diversification of terminal lineages corresponded to the Quaternary period.Conclusions
The results indicated that the present distribution of genetic diversity in D. cambodiana was an outcome of Tertiary dispersal and rapid divergence during the Quaternary period under limited gene flow influenced by the uplift of Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau and Quaternary climatic fluctuations respectively. Evolutionary processes, such as extinction-recolonization during the Pleistocene may have contributed to the fast diversification in D. cambodiana. 相似文献2.

We report here a case of non-healing ulcer due to Trichosporon loubieri in an apparently immunocompetent female. The identity of isolate was confirmed by DNA sequencing of D1/D2 region of 26S rDNA. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the isolate were amphotericin B—0.5 μg/ml; fluconazole—4 μg/ml; posaconazole—0.25 μg/ml; voriconazole—0.06 μg/ml. The patient was managed by extensive debridement and oral fluconazole 150 mg daily for 6 weeks. She responded to therapy. To the best of our knowledge, till date, this is the fourth report of human infection due to T. loubieri and the first of its kind in an immunocompetent host. A review of published literature on infections due to T. loubieri is also included. 相似文献

Glycation or the Maillard reaction in proteins forms advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that contribute to age- and diabetes-associated changes in tissues. Dideoxyosones, which are formed by the long-range carbonyl shift of the Amadori product, are newly discovered intermediates in the process of AGE formation in proteins. They react with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to produce quinoxalines. We developed a monoclonal antibody against 2-methylquinoxaline-6-carboxylate coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. The antibody reacted strongly with ribose and fructose (+OPD)-modified RNase A and weakly with glucose and ascorbate (+OPD)-modified RNase A. Reaction with substituted quinoxalines indicated that this antibody favored the 2-methyl group on the quinoxaline ring. We used high performance liquid chromatography to isolate and purify three antibody-reactive products from a reaction mixture of N alpha-hippuryl-L-lysine+ribose+OPD. The two most reactive products were identified as diastereoisomers of N1-benzoylglycyl-N6-(2-hydroxy-3-quinoxalin-2-ylpropyl)lysine and the other less reactive product as N1-benzoylglycyl-N6-[2-hydroxy-2-(3-methylquinoxalin-2-yl)ethyl]lysine. Our study confirms that dideoxyosone intermediates form during glycation and offers a new tool for the study of this important pathway in diabetes and aging. 相似文献

Peripheral mechanisms of self-tolerance often depend on the quiescent state of the immune system. To what degree such mechanisms can be engaged in the enhancement of allograft survival is unclear. To examine the role of the PD-1 pathway in the maintenance of graft survival following blockade of costimulatory pathways, we used a single-Ag mismatch model of graft rejection where we could track the donor-specific cells as they developed endogenously and emerged from the thymus. We found that graft-specific T cells arising under physiologic developmental conditions at low frequency were actively deleted at the time of transplantation under combined CD28/CD40L blockade. However, this deletion was incomplete, and donor-specific cells that failed to undergo deletion up-regulated expression of PD-1. Furthermore, blockade of PD-1 signaling on these cells via in vivo treatment with anti-PD-1 mAb resulted in rapid expansion of donor-specific T cells and graft loss. These results suggest that the PD-1 pathway was engaged in the continued regulation of the low-frequency graft-specific immune response and thus in maintenance of graft survival. 相似文献
